Zen And The Art Of Kitchen Remodeling.

Our Vote ...... for one-liner of the day goes to state police Commissioner Jeffrey B. Miller, who suddenly
turned this week's dust-up over that creaky gun-records computer system into an episode of "This Old House."During an appearance before the Pennsylvania Press Club this afternoon, Miller pretty much acknowledged that the four-day shutdown for upgrades to the 25-year-old system was a serious (though necessary) pain in the backside.But, he added, "I look at like there’s never a good time to install new
countertops in your kitchen,” he quipped. “You’re always going to need somewhere
to eat breakfast.”Adding to our amusement was his revelation that the four-day shutdown that starts Sept. 2 might be delayed until after Christmas or New Year's, or until later in September, or it might just go ahead as scheduled anyways.Miller is expected to bring his recommendations to Gov. Ed on Tuesday, who will make the final decision on whether to switch the date
on what has been described as a "badly needed" upgrade to a rickety
system that houses some 47 million records.
And if there is a change, it's probably going to cost some
money, Miller said. How much depends on how long the delay lasts."Absolutely, there will be a cost," he said. "You're talking about a change in contract with vendors."Truly, those are words spoken by a man who's decided to go with the granite countertops at the last minute.(Image courtesy of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
